Until I read this: I was feeling sad about trying to get over to my cabin
on Hogg island on the Ottawa river. I was about 200 meters off shore when
my Mercury outboard dropped to almost a stall. I realized it wasn't pumping
any water so I returned home and put the Johnson on the boat. I made it to
the island but when I went to leave I pulled the starter cord and it hung
out like a panting dog's tongue. The recoil spring had broken after only 35
years of service. I popped the lid off wrapped the rear mooring line around
the flywheel and started it up. Fortunately I'd put new coils in it last
year or I would have been rowing 2 miles up stream. $60.00 for a water pump
impeller and a recoil spring and an hours labour plus 1/2 hour swatting
mosquitoes and both motors are good to go.
